Our Town

The Performing Arts Department Theatre Program at Eastern Connecticut State University is proud to present Our Town! Written by Thornton Wilder and directed by Timothy Golebiewski, Our Town is a Pulitzer Prizing-winning drama told in three acts. Set in the fictional town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, Our Town tells the story of a small-town community through the everyday lives of its inhabitants. Wilder uses this small-town setting as a lens through which to explore universal themes: life, love, death, time, memory, and community. Grover’s Corner is just like any other rural American town you may know; everyone knows each other and time moves quickly as day-to-day life continues on for them all. Our Town is a showcase of the truths and trials we face throughout the course of our lives and is a very real and relatable depiction of what it mean to be alive.
